Boxing

Unique Fitness North East is the home of HOWDON BOXING ACADEMY, one of the leading Boxing gyms in the area.

Boxing is a martial art and combat sport in which two individuals exchange punches with each other with gloved hands. At amateur level, boxers wear gloves and protective headgear and aim to score points on one another by landing qualifying punches on the head or torso of their opponent. In order to win the bout a boxer must outscore their opponent on points or inflict enough damage for the referee to stop the contenst and so dictate winning the fight.
